Some papers blame the President for
not signing the River and Harbor bill
The president had no objection to the
bill in itself; but it seems to have be-
come custom IN legislatures, both
State and National, to load down what
aye considered necessary bills, like this
one, the Revenue bills, etc, with jobs,
and hold them back to the last mo-
ment, in order, to force a signature and
prevent veto. The country ought to
congratulate itself on having Presi-
dent who has the moral courage to veto
good bill distigured with obnoxious
"jobs.' Severe diseases require severe
remedies. Next time Congress will
know better than to try to impose on
the President, who is net fishing for a
second term by the methods usually re-
sorted to by politician, but who is try
ing to do his duty in the light that he
sees it. A man who is intent on doing
right is always better than the one who
iSRsying to please everybody.

A Fight to the Death.

The Sierra City Tribune tells of a fight
which occurred on last "Wednesday week,
at the head of Gold Valley, a few miles
from Sierra City, in which three men were
engaged, to-wit: Jack Brennan o. one
side, and Sam and Theodore Dobson on
the other. Brennan owned a cabin and
had a small grazing tract of land near it.
The Dobsons had a band Of sheep which
they drove upon Brennan's pasture.
Brennan ordered them off, and told Theo-
dore Dobson that if he would lsy down
his gun he, Brennan. would thrash him.
Both of the Dobsons were armed; Sam was
On horseback and had a pistol. When
Brennan made the remark Theodore, who
was on foot and had a double arreled
shotgun, emptied one of the loads into the
face and breast of Brennan, and then ran
away. Sam also commenced shooting at
Brennan, and emptied five chambers of
his pistol, but none of his shots took ef
feet. Brennan, badly wounded as he was,
ran into his cabin, procured his partners
Winchester rifle, and commenced firing at
the Dobsons. He made a corpse Of Sam but
failed to bring down Theodore. At last
accounts the prospects for Brennan's re-
covery were good. He is a brother OF
Postmaster Brennan of Sierra, and bore a
good reputation, while the Dobsons were
looked upon as rather tough characters.

SPEAKER CARLISLE.

Mr.. Carlisle's course with respect to the
Toebe contest, says the Washington Star,
as he had outlined it to a newspaper cor
respondent. is digniied and consistent.
He does not ever condescend to hunt for
affirmative testimony in his own behalf,
being content to let the other side pre-.
sent all the proofs it can find, and to step
down and out if they can procure enough
to convince his fellow Representatives in
Congress that he obtained his seat by
any ones wrong-doing. If all members
certified to the House felt an equal will
ingness to be judged without the inter-
position Of a technical plea, there would
be less Of public time and money ex-
pended on fruitless contests, and more
left to use on something of practical
public benefit.

DAKOTA.

In November next the people of Dakots
will vote on the question of dividing the
Territory on the 10th parallel. 1t is
understood that the vote will be prac.
tically unanimous in favor of division.
Everybody in Dakota wants two States
to be made out of the Territory, with
four Senators and at least two Repre-.
sentatives in Congress. Carson Index.
And that is the trouble. They want
too much. Dakota as a whole would
have been admitted three years ago, but
to cut it in two and admit only the
northern half Congress would not stand
it. And the lawmaking power was per.
fectly right. With the population di.
vided there is no pressing necessity for
admission. Either half could afford to
wait and grow a while longer. On the
other hand, if she should present her.
self demanding but a single State. there
could be no tenable reason assigned for
keeping her out. The proposition is to
call the northern half the State of North.
ern Dakota, and the southern half the
State of Southern Dakota. One Dakota
is all that Congress is likely to stand for
some years.
